or Masai Mara accommodation? Masai Mara is a large game reserve located in south western Kenya. Although it is not a national park, it is a national reserve that belongs to the Masai people as administered by the local county councils. Masai Mara is one of the best known and most popular reserves in Africa. It holds one of the highest lion densities in the world. Masai Mara is also the place where over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate annually. The migration is so immense that it is referred to as the Great Migration.

To get inside the Masai Mara, visitors must pay USD60 per person per night. The tours take place via 4-wheel safari vehicles. The most popular attraction in Masai Mara is, of course, game viewing. There are different game species here including lion, leopard, elephant, zebra, giraffe, Thomson's gazelle, hyena, rhino, hippo and wildebeest. The reserve's most famous sight is the Great Migration. This takes place in July and August every single year. Tourists can also take a visit to a Maasai village to help them deepen their understanding of the Maasai's culture. Tourists will be doing a good deed when they visit the village because the proceeds all go to the local community.
